Soloing For Beginners - Bends and Slides

After my last lesson, Spreading Out, you might have tried writing your own solo. You probably found it to be a little dull. That is because you are just playing notes, no little tricks or anything. To give your solo more excitement, try bends and slides, the two easiest tricks. To bend, pick the note and bend the string up. This will cause the note to sound higher. To slide, pick the note and slide your finger up to another fret without letting the note die.
